By following Federal Law--The Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA), a polygraph examination or "lie detector test" can be used in an "on-going" internal investigation involving a specific incident of economic loss for an employer. By utilizing a professional polygraph as an investigative tool, loyal members of an employers staff can be "cleared" of wrong doing. The employer is required to provide their "suspect" employees with a minimum of 48 hours prior notice of their requested polygraph appointment, excluding weekends and legal holidays. Prior to 1988 many employers required prospective employees to pass a polygraph examination prior to a offering them employment. Since the 1988 EPPA law became effective, only the following employers are allowed by law to request pre-employment polygraphs:

Specific Issue testing is conducted to help break down the cycle of denial whenever a convicted sex offender fails to admit responsibility for their present parole/probation offense.Sexual History Examinations are conducted upon request from the treating clinician and supervision officer to insure the examinee is complying with treatment rules and is being truthful concerning his/her sexual history prior to placement on supervision. This testing format is often used to assess the offender's risk for reoffending.Maintenance exams are conducted on convicted sexual offenders to insure compliance with non-sexual conditions of their supervised release.Monitoring exams are conducted to insure convicted sexual offenders have not sexually reoffended.

Maintenance testing for individuals on probation or parole is used to insure they are following the conditions or "rules" of their supervised release. The use of the polygraph can be an excellent investigative tool for the supervision officer in charge of the "releasee." For example, individuals on supervision for Driving While Intoxicated can be tested over their use of alcohol and/or their use of alcohol and the operation of a motor vehicle.Those individuals on supervision for an assaultive crime can be tested concerning their behavior towards others. Abusers of illegal drugs and those involved in drug sales can also be tested concerning their drug involvement.

All exams are conducted by appointment only.Weekends and after-hours appointments are available.Off-site testing is available as long as anappropriate testing site is secured.Spanish-speaking examiners or interpreters are available upon request.

Legal

At times, innocent individuals, when accused of criminal wrong doing, have the need to provide proof of their innocence. Specific Issue examinations can be conducted to provide this verification. Specific Issue exams are conducted when requested by attorneys for their clients that are under investigation or for those that have been formally charged. An exculpatory polygraph examination can be utilized to defer prosecution or even prevent it.

In today's changing world, romantic couples are faced with more stresses on their relationships than ever before. Relationship testing can be effective to verify the truthfulness of a statement concerning "Cheating" or Infidelity issues, Internet activities, and an individual's Personal Background. Infidelity polygraph examinations can determine if someone has strayed in their relationship and participated in physical sexual contact with others outside the marital or monogamous bond. It should be noted that not all "Cheating" may be physical in nature. Couples that are concerned about their partner's use of the Internet for example, participation in the world of "Cyber Sexual Activites," may be in need of a polygraph examination to determine their partner's use of the Internet for sexual purposes. Concerns about a partner's personal background, including but not limited to their health status, financial background and substance abuse usage can be effectively dealt with by utilizing this type of polygraph test format. Domestic or Infidelity examinations can help couples renew and restore their relationships or pursue alternative relationship options with confidence due to the outcome of their polygraph examinations. All testing is conducted in a private, friendly and non-accusatory environment.
